How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Matlab to Elm in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Matlab code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Elm code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Matlab to Elm using this converter. Note that you may not always get the same code since it is generated by an AI language model which is not 100% deterministic and gets updated from time to time.
Example 1 - Is String Palindrome
Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.
Matlab
Elm
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.
Matlab
Elm
Key differences between Matlab and Elm
Characteristic | Matlab | Elm |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Matlab uses a syntax that is similar to traditional programming languages, with a focus on matrix operations and mathematical computations. | Elm uses a syntax that is inspired by functional programming languages, with a strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions. |
Paradigm | Matlab is primarily a procedural programming language, but it also supports object-oriented programming. | Elm is a purely functional programming language, which means that it emphasizes immutability and avoids side effects. |
Typing | Matlab is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are determined at runtime. | Elm is statically typed, which means that variable types are checked at compile-time. |
Performance | Matlab is optimized for numerical computations and has good performance for these tasks. | Elm is not designed for high-performance computations and may not be suitable for tasks that require heavy number crunching. |
Libraries and frameworks | Matlab has a wide range of libraries and toolboxes available for various domains, such as signal processing, image processing, and control systems. | Elm has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Matlab, but it has a growing community and a focus on simplicity and reliability. |
Community and support | Matlab has a large and active community, with extensive documentation and support resources available. | Elm has a smaller but dedicated community, with active forums and documentation to support developers. |
Learning curve | Matlab has a relatively low learning curve, especially for users with a background in mathematics or engineering. | Elm has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers who are new to functional programming concepts. |
